a Frog FONDA Good Neutrality-suspicious.
wanted-News Thief
To The Editor of the Prtatka Ne,cs.
The vacant lots just above JacksOns
planning mills are filled with water after
each heavy rain, and the plaintive voice
of the frog is much heard i'm that re-
gion. A deep ditch passes these lots,
and it would require very little work to
dig a drain that would allow the water
to run off. where it now stands uutil it
dries up.
Business may he duh but our express
office does a large amount of business
for dull city.
there appeared an article by gentleman
signing himself Terra Filius,'' i'm
which we are soundly berated and ac-
cused of ignorance. The gentleman,
after having apparently reached the
limit of his vocabulary, and after saying
good deal Of-of something in a very
vague manner, leav IS us in doubt as tn
his Neutrality-suspicious. it be good or
otherwise. But we think he is, on the
whole, inclined to do us injustice.
1t is said that if it rains on the 2lst of
June that it will continue to rain for
ninety days in succession. To all APP
pearances, SO far, it is so.
Did you ever see a news thief? Ii not
go to any Of the news stands, especially
at the book stores. and watch. You
will see n man come in and walk up to-
the table. He looks over all the illus
trated papers, and sometimes goes SO far
as To sit down and read a whole paper
over. When he is through he lays them
down and goes out, having got his news
for nothing. He is rs bad as the peanut
thief; some ways worse,

A Complaint.
PALATKA, June ,.

PALATKA. June q.
Editor If tho Paiatka Nsss.
Will YOU kindly inform me what po-
liceman's duties are in the city of Pa
latka?
While waiting for a reply l will tell
my opinion of them. (And l think
every lawabiding citizen will agree with
me.)
1t is seldom they make an arrest, and
when they do it is invariably an inno-
cent person they put in limbo.
The latest outrage one of our noble
policeman has perpetrated is to arrest an
innocent man for the great crime of sit
ting on the wharf enjoying the cool air
that God i'm his goodness intended for us
mOrtals.
Why do not they arrest the real
breakers of the law? 1 mean those who
willfully violate the ordinances of the
city. There can be but one reason, and
what is that? They must be getting
something to keep them from doing
their plain duty.
Now, MIR. Editor, will tell why
write this: There are plenty of good re-
putable citizens in Palatka who would
be willing to do police duty, but 1t
seems those who have the authority do
not give citizens of the town n situation
as policeman.
But they hire strangers, persons who
can have no other interest in their du-
ties than to arrest every person for the
most trivial offense, 81 as to get that
almighty dollar" have resided in

Mr.. q. w. Davis, train dispatcher at
the Florida Southern Railway, left for
Jacksonville, to-day, ON business.
Everybody in town says it rained yes
turday. II you don't believe it just look
at the lakes on the different streets.
Mr.. w. s. Pemberton, Of the Florida
Southern Railway. left, yesterday, for
Atlanta, Ga, where he goes to have his
eyes treated.
The fast mail on the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway, whose
time at Palatka is 2:l5 p. m, did not ar
rive here, yesterday, until 4:2O p. m,
owing to the fact that there was big
washout, north of Jacksonville, by the
heavy rain
Mr.. 7. j. AppIeyard and family left on
the afternoon train for Oakland, Orange
County, Fla, where they will make their
future home. Mr. Appleyard reports
business good. and his paper, the South
eyn Sun, is going to shine in that part of
the country brighter than it has ever
shone.
The Mayors Court had light docket
for Monday-only two offenders-Steven
Owens, for indulging in a first-class
drunk and using abusive language, two
dollars and costs. James Alexander, for
using abusive language, two dollars and
costs. Both gentlemen are doing good
work on the streets in lieu of the cash.
The Southern Methodists propose to
hold a camp meeting at the sulphur
springs back of Mt. Royal. j. G. Greedy
wrote to Rev. j. w. Folsom, offering a
free gift of five acres of ground for
camp meeting purposes. The society
has accepted it, and will begin as soon as
possible the erection of suitable build
ings One stand, forty by sixty feet, has
been begun. Among the evangelists
who will be there is Rev. Will Nj.
Waller, of Orlando.
The Orange County Reporter says: "A
young son of r. A. Mills, of ChuluOta,
while bathing in the lake a few days ago
discovered stick on the sandy bottom
of the lake, and reaching his arm into
the water seized it for the purpose of
throwing it upon the bank. The stick
proved to- be a water moccasin. however,
and before the little fellow could relax
his hold the snake had bitten him twice
i'm the hand. The mother placed her
mouth to the wound and sucked out the
poison, and the little fellow was filled up
with whisky. The next morning he was
a. well s.s ever. The hand swelled but
little, and no after effects have APP
peare,l.
The Enterprise Herald has this to say
about the upper st. Johns: ''Old resi-
dents in this section say that the channel
of the St Johns River, between this
place and Blue Spring, thirty years ago,
was from ten to fifteen feet in depth,
and that the current was swift. Now
the channel is from six to ten feet deep
and the current sluggish. They predict
also that it il a mere matter of time ere
the upper portion of the river will be in
the hands of the drainage and reclaimed
land committee, and that the beautiful.
winding st. Johns, banked with its
picturesque tropical growths, will be in
the historic past. We are borrowing no
trouble ON that score, however, but are
still continuing to enjoy at every OPP
portunity the beauties of the st. Johns,
which are manifold on Lake Monroe"

Correspondence Of the Pdtatkd Nelos-
In reply to F. C. R." on Cassava, 1
will say:
First-It is propagated from the wood
of the previous years growth; cut in
pieces about four inches long and plant
about as deep as Irish potatoes. Plant
i'm rows five feet apart and three feet
apart in the row. The seed wood must
be cut and protected from the frost as it
kills easily.
Second-It should have clean cultiva-
ton and soil rich enough to grow good
cabbages.
Third have had no satisfactory
Weld on pine land without fertilization.
Good soil will yield from ten to twenty
tons per acre.
Fourth-It is good for horses, cattle,
chickens and pigs. Starch made from
it may be used as corn starch is, for all
cooking purposes 1t is dug and fed raw
to all domestic animals, but may be
boiled and fed in mixture with ground
feed or bran.
Fifth-It may he dug with an axe and
shovel and grub hoe. To make starch 1t
is pounded or grated fine. Then put in
pure water and wash until the starch
glObules are all washed out. Then sep
arate the pulp from the water by strain
ing. Let the water stand in clean YES
sci, and the starch will settle to the bot
tom. The water is then poured off and
new water added, and the starch broken
up, washed and settled again. until it
will no longer color the water. Then
dry it. If, when quite dry, it is heated
hot enough to cook it, it becomes tapioca.

MALONE AND THE BLAIR BILL.

Again and again have we called
upon General Malone to deny the
truth Of the statement made 10y
Mr.. Riddleberger that ne (MahOnel
had antagOnized the Blair bill in
the United States Senate. G.. W.
Button, Esq. formerly editor of the
Lynchburg VugiaidR, a man whose
veracity nobody would ever think
of doubling, cOrroborates indirect
~ what Mr.. Riddleberger SAID re.
Gently on this subject. We quote
from the last issue of the Roanoke
Leader, of which Mr.. Button is the
editor:
Notwithstanding Mahon e's
claims to be friend to the Blair
educational bill, we have it from
the lips Of gentleman to whom
Senator Riddleberger made the
statement, that Malone told him
he would not vote for 1t, since it
would only furnish money to the
ID Funders for electionepring
purposes"
1t will be seen that it is not a
new charge that Mr.. Riddleberger
brings against General Malone, but
one which he (Riddleberger) has
told to his friends.
Why does General Malone re.
main silent under such a charge p
a charge coming directly from his
colleague IN the United States Sen.

IN the Republican party are such

CHICKENS HOME TO ROOST.

That licentiate club house rem
nant and relic OF Southern outrages,
Hugh L. Bond, mas just perpetra-
ted another judicial outrage by
hning and imprisoning the AttOr-
ney-General of Virginia, and the
Commemorative Attorney OF Eau
quier. The alleged cause is simply
this: The last Legislature passed an
act requiring certain actions to be
brought to collect taxes IN money
where coupons were offered, and
these officials we're obeying this
law OF their State, which this
wrelched tool of the bondholders
held to be in contempt of his court.
We have not the space, nor would
we sully our columns il we had, by
reproducing his low, vulgar and
insulting opinion. For his allu.
slons to Scott, from his position of
advantage, he ought to be stripped,
peppered, tarred aud feathered. 1t
would be better law than be ad-
ministers if the people of Rich
mond would tie piece of pig iron
about bis neck and throw bin over
Mayo's bridge.
But, as we say above, chickens
have come home TO roOst. When
a Virginia Judge sent VIM. L.
ROyall to Jail for a graver offence
than contempt of court, this same
miserable abortion of a Jeffries
issued writ of babeas corpus ID
defiance of L. S. statute law which
declares in terms that u. s. Circuit
and District Judges shall not issue
such writs in such cases, and Mr..
Royal was released. Now two law
officers Of the State are imprisoned
By this same usurper. Royal has
all the time been the attorney Of
the British brokers aud jObbers.-
He was released by their supple
jack Bond. The two law officers
were serving the State and they
are jailed by this stool pigeon
Little was said about the Royal !
case. Now the State is afame. 1t |
is not amiss to give out such re.
minders at such an oppOrtune time.
Since the above was put in type /
We note that the United States Su- I
prene Court has granted writs of 1
habeas corpus N the cases. We /
have hopes that they viii finally |
sit down on the rescreaut.

That Lone Texas RohheT.

TEMPLE, TEX, Oct. From a
lady who was a passenger the fol-
lowing account of the second rob.
berry Of the Ballinger and San An
gelo stage is obtained: 1t was
about midnight, and the stage had
reached a point in Nicholas pas.
ture, close to the willow water hole,
when from the side of the road ap.
peared a lone bandit, who halted
the driver with the remark, "Well,
boys, | am here" and presented
two reyolvers TO the drivers face.
When the stage stopped the pas
sengers we're ordered out, and as
each appeared he was handed a
cap identical with those used at
the first robbery on Friday night,
and ordered to drop it down over
his head. This done, the passen-
gers were ordered to stand up in
row and hold their hands up, while
the robber proceeded to relieve
them Of their cash and valuables.
There were five passengers, two
men, two women aud little child.
As on Friday night, the women
we're not robbed, and the haul made
rom the two men was but a light
,ne. The mail sacks were naed,
md the registered packages and a
lumber of other letters torn open,
)ut the amount thus obtained is
lot given.

quite enough. The balance was
